Kristen Abdai is a Canadian artist based in London, England. In 2015 she completed an MA at The Royal College of Art in London. Working with a range of time based media including sound, video and performance, Kristen's research revolves around the semiotics in cinema, most particularly the face and the close-up. Working with isolated scenes, loops and often staging live interventions within her installations, she plays with themes of comedy and tragedy through the use of slapstick, horror and farce.
